Images, graphic violence, firearms 

for the first time since Tuesday morning felt incredibly good. Fannish stuff; Imperial Fists Captain with Terminator honours vs Imperial Guardsman, and a vampire vs werewolf became some NPC design.

who decided they were the Cult Mechanicus and not a Diode-cese

what's the best Lords of Acid track to replace Spybreak in the Matrix lobby scene?

perhaps eating sweet tofu while sitting around in my boxers listening to Lords of Acid will help deal with all the crushing feelings

admittedly if it doesn't I still got to eat sweet tofu and listen to LoA

OK I talked to agency people and the hiring manager and can stand down for a while, and cry about cats or some shit like that.

unfortunately both "Zulu" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus" featured prominently in my childhood and it's hard not to parse the opening narration as "the ZULUS in overwhelming numbers attacked on the slopes of the mountain ISANDHLWANA and in spite of gallant resistance the entire column was annihilated. Thank you for listening, and thank you for a lovely supper. Sincerely, Brigadier Alesteir Meredith Smythe-Smythe-Smythe (Mrs.)"

gotta remember responding to the Presidents' tweets is futile and will just get me on a watch list if I'm not already. What, one of the most powerful men in the country, thoroughly owned and equipped with enough ego to handle the job, is gonna be swayed by actual public opinion? That said, claiming you're the most pro-union president in the history of the country when FDR is right there, is like saying you like diners more than anyone else in the room while standing literally next to Guy Fieri.

HOW TO BEHAVE IN BRITAIN
*exaggerated American accent*
Brits like and appreciate that you've familiarized yourself with local terminology. Try some yourself. "Me mates and I took the trolley to the local for a couple of moggies."

I think if you taught kids a certain amount of softness - and partly through empathy for THEM - you’d have guys who were just the loud goofy humor aspect, not the domestic abuser or xenophobic sadist part.

I feel like there’s a certain amount of violence that’s very male and if you’re taught some things it plays out as goofy humor. A guy who would never dream of hurting an animal drives a truck through watermelons and it’s the funniest thing ever. But the flip side is really dark, there’s this fine line where even the humor finds a weaker target for self justified torture.

movie quote to Alan Silvestri soundtrack, violence/shouting, this AGAIN 

"Can't you hear the screaming in the streets? It's..."
*krrsh* *dakka dakka dakka*
"BLOCKWAR!"

I say this a lot but I'll say it again. My Dad worked for NASA for a while, before I was born, so he definitely raised me with, this is the COUNTRY'S space program, it's gonna do great things and benefit all of us. We're shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie's driving by, etc. Which means now I really couldn't give a flying clusterfuck about what's now another profit opportunity for some rightwing multibillionaire rather than something that might help with any environmental or social issues.

well this company I might get a contract job with sure are the scum of the planet helping make the Seattle area less and less livable. Guess I need to fill out their application paperwork.

I hate this
I hate this
I'm weightless
I'm weightless
she's a child! A child in all of this!
she's a child! A child in all of this!
the brace, the brace, it weighs a thousand tons
a million daughters
a thousand sons*

coyote sing along lyrics, outdoor cat mention 

Kitty rear up an' scratch me through my jeans
Kitty rear up an' scratch me through my jeans (MIAO!)
fuck you, kitty, you're gonna spend the night (miao?)
fuck you, kitty, you're gonna spend the night (myow!)
fuck you, kitty, you're gonna spend the night
OUT SIDE!

"Would you consider working at Amazon warehouse?"

Why yes. It ranks somewhere between "work in a Target warehouse" and "beg for money next to an I-5 onramp" as jobs I would enjoy. Closer to the latter.

coyote sing along lyrics, Zappa, more 50s sci fi 

the blobulent suit
THAT'S RIGHT THE BLOBULENT SUIT!
it's made of rubber, it's very ugly
it has an air hose!
the guy who has it all has a space wrench!
The things that were supposed to be green in the black and white movies
they get you in the neck when you're not looking!
